Two Rafales had an incident at an airshow. Basically, slightly clipped each other in-flight, but both landed safely. the tl:dr is that...

Yes with stuff like bleed air valves :)

Yes. Also please kindly keep in mind that people over there are not paid for their work...

As said above, it is likely a problem of excessive drag. You have to keep the AoA super-low to achieve orbit manually, it really takes...

I was working on the base texture for the new SSU orbiter mesh and I was thinking it would be nice if a proper simulation of air...

This is, assuming you're not just launching vertically or something. Doing the roll to 90/east right after launch helps, I think. And a...

Main tank doesn´t get you to orbit. You have to perform OMS-1 and/or OMS-2 burns... Best regards,

Flown manually, standard shuttle is a pain. It can be done, but just barely. I usually ended up using up most of the OMS for it too...
